Butter Pecan Caramel Rice Krispies Treats

What do you get when you add butter pecan cake mix and caramel bits to basic Rice Krispies Treats? One of the best sweet treats around, that’s what! Until I saw my friend Katie’s video for National Rice Krispies Treats Day last month, I had never thought of adding cake mix to these popular treats. All sorts of flavors starting popping into my head for days after that. Hmm…what would I make first?

Since I’m a big fan of butter pecan and caramel flavors combined, I immediately knew this would be my first version of these yummy treats made with cake mix. Let me tell y’all, these are over the top awesome, delish, scrumptious, fabulous (I could go on and on)…and very addictive!!! Believe me when I tell you, they don’t last long at all! I’ve already made two batches and have plans for more flavors that hubby can’t wait for me to make. You should probably get enough for two batches to start with…you’re bound to get requests to make these over and over. Enjoy!
